Improvement: When a pool's File System Type is set to 'Auto', all pool slots must be populated
Improvement: New Config with Preserve Assignments will reduce pool slots to match the number of disks present
Fix: Remount dataset if 'zfs destroy' fails because dataset is busy
Fix: If a share is created without a config file, ensure data is only stored on pools that are participating in user shares
Fix: DeviceInfo: Only show 'Pool Device Status' section when pool is mounted
Fix: Empty Disk feature: share data on target disk(s) now remains visible during operation, see Converting to a new file system type for usage details.
- Removed '-e' option from 'mover' script; use the webGUI now
Fix: Reduce excess logging related to drive spin down and SMART self-tests

Fix: Improve WSD discovery on your local network (so Unraid appears in Windows Network, formerly Network Neighborhood)
- Generate unique /boot/config/machine-id and install to /etc/machine-id on boot
- Patch wsdd2 to work when "Host access to custom networks" is enabled
- Note: discovery typically does not work if clients are running Tailscale
Fix: Update 'lshw' to support LEDs on Lincstation systems
Fix: Re-add the 'Join' Notification Agent from Unraid 6.12
Fix: Load br_netfiltering in rc.inet1 'start' function and set default IPv4/IPv6 forwarding policy to ACCEPT (should fix VM IPv6 issues)
